Brian Krause, LMHC

Brian Krause is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) based in Florida who helps people facing relationship strain, trauma and abuse, intimacy concerns, and anxiety. He works with individuals and couples on issues like trust after infidelity, communication problems, and low self-esteem. Brian also supports people dealing with grief, parenting stress, career pressure, and questions around sexuality and identity.

Brian draws on more than 11 years of clinical work and earlier experience in pastoral care to shape how he meets clients. He favors clear, down-to-earth conversations that name patterns and practical steps. Sessions focus on what is happening now and what can change next. The pace is collaborative and goal oriented.

Therapy sessions often use attachment ideas to look at how early relationship patterns affect current bonds. Cognitive behavioral techniques help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. Client-centered dialogue and emotionally focused work aim to deepen emotional connection and repair distance between partners.

Brian also incorporates somatic awareness to help people notice body signals tied to anxiety or trauma and to calm the nervous system during tense moments. He explains skills simply and practices them in session so clients can use them in daily life.

People who choose Brian typically want a practical plan alongside emotional understanding. He helps clients rebuild trust, reduce reactivity, and create clearer communication. Prospective clients can expect steady, straightforward guidance toward healthier relationships and more manageable stress.

How Brian's Approaches Work Online

Brian commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy in online sessions. CBT focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety and improve mood, which can help with stress, career worries, and self-esteem issues. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns shape current connections and is useful for trust issues, intimacy concerns, and recovering from infidelity.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person or couple about goals and preferences, and then recommend methods that fit those needs. Clients collaborate on goals and try techniques in sessions to see what feels most helpful.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives. Video is good for face-to-face conversation and emotionally focused work. Phone calls work well when bandwidth is limited or a quieter voice check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging allow brief check-ins, ongoing coaching, and flexible communication between meetings.
